Perfect Pesto Pizza

This is the first of a few Leaner Living Pizza recipes. I chose the Perfect Pesto Pizza first simply because it is my favorite! I believe it is my brother’s as well. Pizza is generally thought of as junk food because of its high calorie / fat / carb content, but with our touch, we turned it into pure Leaner Living gold! Even though we will be posting other pizza recipes, the basic concept will remain the same – The crust is a low-carb tortilla, the sauce is made from Leaner Living approved foods, the cheese is made with 2% or fat-free (I like 2%, my brother likes fat-free), and the toppings are Approved Lean Meats and Veggies. It is pretty simple and they do VERY well as hors d’oerves (appetizers) or as a complete meal!

This pizza has high fiber, lean proteins, vegetables, and healthy “lean” fats – See a trend?

One thing to note is that you can save time by making big batches of our pesto sauce (or buying a jar from the store) and / or grilling chicken breasts in advance (or using already cut up and grilled frozen chicken slices that come in a bag at the store).
